Can Infection Affect My Lower Leg Fibers?

Patient's Query

Infection and fiber Leg

Answered by Dr. Archit Aggarwal

An infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter through a break in the skin. Usual signs are redness, pain, heat, or warmth there, and growth of the affected part. You should clean the wound properly, bandage it with a clean piece of cloth then visit a dermatologist if there is no change. Oral antibiotics are usually prescribed to be taken as prescribed. To prevent future occurrences, make sure that you keep that place clean too.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever

Male | 56

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.

Hello, I had Femur Condylar bone fracture on 25-Dec-2023, when I consult an orthopaedic specialist he suggested it can be cured with Synthetic bandage. However all seems to be good till 45 days no pain and everything looks good at the knee but after 45 days when we opened the bandage they we found one of the bone piece not set properly . But there no pain. And even I can stand and gold my knee upto 90 degrees. My question is 1) what can be done to set this 2) what happens if the leave that like this. 3) Can this be treated again without surgery 4) I had consulted multiple orthopaedic specialists and each of them suggesting different opinions.

As a medical expert, the first advice to you is to consult a reputable orthopaedic surgeon for the correct diagnosis and treatment plan for your femur condylar bone fracture. This may intensify a possible complication later. Surgery might be necessary, but this matter can be only clarified only after a thorough examination of your case.

You should consult an orthopedist so that he can be able to determine the underlying cause of your leg pain and swelling. The following symptoms can be caused by musculoskeletal or vascular conditions and need to be immediately checked by the doctor.

How to get rid of knee crepitus

Male | 36

Knee crepitus can be from multiple causes. Painless crepitus can be ignored. So, I won't advice for crepitus knee treatment as such.. Crepitus from knee cap problems can be cured with hip and knee strengthening. Crepitus from cartilage irregularities or loose pieces often need minor keyhole surgery. Painful crepitus from arthritis is initially treated with physical therapy and surgery when therapy stops helping.

But I have concern about the wounds of my leg mainly i got 4 wounds in my leg one on elbow and left three on my feet those three are like a hole but they got tissues their but the wounds are still their. I know it gonna take time but everytime i or my nurse change the dressing it got bleed bec when i have to walk all wounds of my leg start bleeding maybe stretch of tissues i don't use that leg to walk. But even it bleed. I don't know what's to do. It's like whenever i do dressing the wound get damaged and bleed because the bandage gets to stick to it because of blood. I use megaheal or betadine for dressing but mostly bettadin because after doing dressing with megaheal it hey pus ( little bit ) in the wound it happens to wound on elbow and feet please tell how can I solve this. And lil bit sorry for the bad explanation. And thanks

The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.

I am 22 female I have a bump on my foot that is getting bruised and bigger

Female | 22

You could have what’s referred to as a bunion. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the base of the big toe. Tight shoes or heredity can be the cause of it. If it’s getting swollen and larger, it’s advisable to wear comfortable shoes and apply ice to reduce swelling. In some cases, surgery may be necessary if it’s very painful.
